This Fiesta Ranch Baked Cauliflower is going to spice up your life! (Or at the very least, spice up your dinner!) This effortless Roasted Ranch Cauliflower is a deliciously healthy side dish.
Cut your cauliflower into small florets. Keep the size as uniform as possible to ensure even baking.
Place on baking sheet (lined in foil or parchment for easy clean-up) and toss with olive oil.
Season with your preferred Ranch dressing packet. (I use 1 full tablespoon and 2 teaspoons, but feel free to adjust according to your preferences!)
Roast for 25-35 minutes, tossing halfway through.
When the florets begin to show a golden brown edge and become soft, remove from oven.
Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
Notes

Set your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, roasting for 15-20 minutes total.
Toss halfway to ensure even browning.
Tips
The girls tend to prefer their cauliflower bites to be a little softer, so I use parchment paper sheets to line my baking pan. If you want a crispier finish, turn up your heat and use aluminum foil instead!
Keep your cauliflower pieces fairly uniform.
Yes, you can use stems! They soften beautifully while roasting.
The smaller the pieces, the quicker it cooks!
Adjust your seasoning to personal preference. Strong ranch flavor? Feel free to use more.
Turn the oven up to broil for the last two minutes if you’d like a little extra browning and crunch.
